Pushing open the wooden door of the office, he saw the delicate face of Peppermint.
Today's mint was dressed very formally.
He wore a small, silver-gray suit with a white striped shirt. He also wore orthodox slacks with a pair of heels that were also lowered by a lot.
She was wearing a plain face that gave people the refreshing feeling of mint.
However, she just had a pair of mischievous peach blossom eyes.
When not laughing, like the petals of peach blossom, blurred eyes, charming self-evident;
When he smiled, his eyes were full of smiles. He squinted his eyes into two crescent moons, very charming.
Looking back at the beautiful smile, the last autumn wave even more captivating.
With those eyes, no matter how formally Peppermint dressed up, it would give the impression that she was bewitching him. It was hard not to be tempted by her.
"mint, boss is on the Special Contribution Board again." Ji Jianjian impatiently said, "Boss has already agreed, in the future I will leave my lunch in his charge."
"Long Lin, how many rewards did you get now?" Peppermint asked with a smile.
This caused Long Lin to be unable to resist shaking his head helplessly. As long as this woman stayed in the foreign secretary's office for one day, he, the head of this department and the only man in this department, would be treated by many as an imaginary rival in love.
Moreover, the higher his status in the field of crafting technology, the more people would think of him as an enemy.
"Not much, just a little over 1.15 million."
"Not much." mint nodded his head and said, "For a genius like you, it's really not a lot."
"You think too highly of me." Long Lin shook his head, "I only have better talent in speech."
"More than that." Pointy looked at Long Lin, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "If it's just a matter of words, would the Boss Xi send you to collect their debt?"
"How did you know I was going to collect the bill?" Long Lin could not help but ask.
"In the WeChat group, you've already become a Heavenly King's Superstar."
Poinsettias opened WeChat and handed the phone over to Long Lin.
In this WeChat group called "quietly watching you act like a hypocrite", there were only 13 people, but they were all women.
The current topic of discussion was related to Long Lin being ranked on the Special Contribution Board for the second time.
A bunch of women were typing rapidly, praising him and attacking him.
"What group is this?" Long Lin could not help but ask.
"BWF."
Eh …
Long Lin hurriedly returned the phone back to the mint.
BWF, short for bisexual women.
"To think that you're still a sea expert. You can't even accept this." Mint sneered in disdain.
"About that …" Long Lin said somewhat awkwardly, "My bones are still very traditional."
"Come on." "Fortunately, I'm not really a BWF. Joining this group is just to finish my thesis for my second major master's degree."
"What's your second major?"
"strue
"Psychology."
Long Lin felt more and more that taking this monster into his own department was the wrong decision.
Master of Science in Sexual Psychology.
This kind of woman would thoroughly understand the little things about you and her, like bacteria under a microscope. No matter how secretive she was, it wouldn't escape her notice.
"You chose this major because you suffered some kind of injury?" Long Lin could not help but ask.
He turned to the computer screen.
"I'll give you a suggestion." Long Lin lowered his head and seriously said, "If the reason why you chose this subject is to prevent yourself from getting hurt again, I agree. If your goal is to understand men better and get revenge, I recommend that you give up."
"The result of your revenge will only cause you to be covered in injuries. Moreover, not every man will have enmity with you. However, most men who approach you will only have a yearning for good things."
"Even if they approach you out of desire." Long Lin said seriously, "The flowers do not smell good, and the butterflies do not come, but men chase after their desires, just like butterflies chasing their nectar, it is just an instinct, not that everyone's purpose of coming close to you is to hurt you."
"There may be true love."
"True love, hehe." Peppermint hugged his belly, laughing until his cheeks rippled, tears streaming down his face.
Long Lin sighed, and did not say anything else.
There was a barrier in everyone's heart, just like how he could not let go of the gentle matter and blamed himself for not coming back earlier.
In the heart of mint, there is also an impassable barrier.
This was not something that could be pacified with words.
Long Lin turned around and walked out of the office, and knocked on Xi Wanting's door.
"Come in." Seeing Long Lin, who had pushed the door open and entered, Xi Wanting's expression became slightly gentler.
"Boss Xi, please discuss something."
"Go ahead."
"Don't put me on the rewards list again." Long Lin looked at Xi Wanting, and said seriously, "My goal is to protect you, not to become an elite in the business world, and not to become an elite in the business world of Xi Family."
"No." Xi Wanting said resolutely, "The meritorious service, the punishment of those who have done so, this is the system."
"It doesn't matter if you have no rules or not. You were once a soldier, so you should know the importance of the rewards and penalties being distinct." Xi Wanting stared intently, her eyes sharp and piercing.
"Then don't give me any extra work." Long Lin shook his head and said, "I am not the least bit interested in working for the Xi Family. If not for owing Old Man Chang Gui a favor, I would not be working in any industry related to the Xi Family my entire life."
Xi Wanting was a little sad, "You're still blaming me?"
"I don't blame you, but I can't forgive Xi Family's indifference." Long Lin also stared at Xi Wanting, and said word by word, "In my heart, even if your Xi Family were to give me all of your assets, it wouldn't be as gentle as just in case."
"Give me back my favor, and I will avenge myself with all my might." Long Lin's voice was ice-cold, filled with killing intent. He looked at Xi Wanting in the eyes and slowly said, "As long as it's the one who killed Wan Rou, even if it's the Emperor himself, I will make him pay with blood."
"If it is an individual's doing, I will kill one person. If it is an organization's doing, I will destroy that organization. If it is a family, I will uproot them completely without leaving even a single dog or chicken."
Looking at the scarlet red eyes of Long Lin, Xi Wanting suddenly felt a bone piercing chill, as though she was being stared at by a man-eating beast in a wasteland.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before.
Wan Rou's death was not that simple. In fact, it was even more complicated than what she knew.
Wan Rou was just a flashpoint in a complicated conflict.
Moreover, the conflict is brewing and continuing.
Xi Wanting could vaguely see a tragic battle.
That kind of battle was like a river of blood.
"One last thing, don't give me any extra rewards." Long Lin's voice was ice-cold. "I don't want to owe anyone in the Xi Family. Only when I raise my slaughtering knife to the Xi Family can I have a clear conscience and be decisive in my killing."
Without waiting for Xi Wanting to speak, Long Lin turned and left.
The back of the figure was thin and thin, like a sharp blade that could exit at any time.
Xi Wanting could not help but sigh silently.
It was true that she wanted to tie Long Lin and the crucible technology together so that he would become embroiled in the struggles of the Xi Family, but her goal was not to make Long Lin owe her a favor, but to let him see for himself the truth behind Wan Rou's death.
This was a massive trap, even a central trap.
Poor Wan Rou, she was just the trigger.
Xi Wanting had always faintly felt that the mastermind behind the terror was secretly controlling the Xi Family.
This was a terrifying trap, maybe Long Lin was the one to solve it.
